Randolph Mayor Facing Multiple Child Sexual Assault Charges

RANDOLPH – The mayor of Randolph will be in court next week to face multiple felonies related to a child sexual assault investigation.

Court documents indicate that 61-year old Dwayne Schutt was arrested on Thursday. A warrant for his arrest was issued last week following an investigation that yielded four counts of sexual assault of a child and one count of felony child abuse.

According to court documents, the investigation began after a domestic disturbance call at Schutt’s residence last December. Over the course of the investigation, Cedar County Sheriff’s officials say they learned of the sexual assault of a juvenile over the course of four years beginning when the juvenile was 13 years old.

Schutt posted 10% of his $125,000 bond and was released from jail on Friday. He’s set to be arraigned on the charges in Cedar County Court on Wednesday.
